Stanton of Bemidji will be continued after the first of January next as judge of the Fifteenth judicial district. And, by the way, Judge Stanton has already made an enviable repu- tation on the bench and the people have learned to like him. A ene of Occupation. The Ranier Journal has changed bands and Mark Montgomery will do the quill pushing in future. Editor G. A. Terry, who formerly haa charge of the paper, has eogaged in the real es- tate, insurance and meat business, and by the diversity of his occupation willendeavor to keep busy. Here’s success. Is a Good Fellow. It is generally concede that P. H. Nelson of Hibbing, democratic candi- d. te for State Treasurer, is a good icilow. That he is range citizen, and as cartdidate for State Treasurer sould get the range vote, not only of bis party, but of allof the Republi- cais. We rather believe in this sort of politics providing however, that ¢he man is fit for the place he seeks. Mr. Nelson is a bright young man and avery fine gentleman. Pers would be delighted to see P. H. the place. What these ranges want especially is a little more local pride. A. little more local patriotism. A little more of the sentiment of stick’ together. There are only a few dem- ocrats running on this range for political preference and if they re- ceived the votes of the range citizens’ there should be no serious objection. Stick to the home. Stick to your own men and your own community 1s a pretty good policy—Eveleth Star. Arrested for Stabbing. R. H. Philips, a recent arrival from Chicago, coming here in company with one of the Joelaud boys, was ar- rested on Monday by Deputy Sheriff Fish on a charge of having stabbed Wm. Davis. The affray took place at a shack a few miles west of Cohasset last Saturday. Davis received a se- vere cut on the right leg and was also cut in the breast. Philips will have a hearing before Justice Huson next Tuesday. A Serious Charge. Jno. Francisco, a resident of the Splithand district, is in the county jail in default of $500 bonds and will have a hearing on acharge of mayhem- ism Monday next. The offense was committed on John Pollar, a neighbor of Francisco. The crime took place in the saloon of Quackenbush & Pear- son last Monday. Francisco chewed off the nail and flesh from the end of the left thumb. It appears that Pol- lar was playing a social game of cards with some friends when Francisco en- tered the saloon and began to abuse Pollar. The latter had his head and face bandaged up as the result of an accident in which he had suffered the loss of one eye and he begged not to be bothered. The agyressor persisted and finally Pollar struck his tor- menter, Knocking him down. <A second time Francisco assaulted Pol- lar and attempted to bite him in the face. He finally succeeded in getting the unfortunate man’s thumb in his mouth, with the result as_ stated above. The hearing will be had be- tore Justice Huson. Anonymous Communications. Chief of Police Seamans complains about parties who send in unsigned communications to the peace officers, giving information of alleged wrong- doing. These informants usually urge prompt action asd insist that they know whereof they speak. Last week Chief Seamans received such a missive from the country nearby which was signed “Two Citizens.” He acted on the information given, but with much reluctance. He found there was some reason for sending in the imforma- tion, but the cause thereof was re- moved when he arrived upon the scene of trouble. Citizens should kuow that information given to an officer will not be used against the informant nor his name divulged, if requested not to do so. Anonymous complaints are useless to the author- ities, and whether based on fact or fiction is very apt to be entirely ignored. Sign your name, so that the officer may know to whom to appeal for definite and tangible clues upon which to act. Hereafter unsigned communications will be consigned to the waste basket. A Trip to Roseau. Roy R. Bell, the druggist, returned last week from quite an extensive trip through the northwestern part of the state. He joined his father, the Hon. BR. J. Bell, at Crookston. on the way out. Bell Sr., was in attend- ance at an important meeting held at Crookston whereat railroad matters were discussed by James J. Hill of the Great Northern. Hon. R. J. Bell was one of theearly settlers in Roseau county, where he conducts a news- paper, practices law, is mayor of his town and plays -with politics. Very naturally he is interested in securing railway facilities to Roseau, and at the Crookston meeting Mr. Hill an- nounced, without reserve, that trains would be running into Roseau by the first of January, 1909. Roy says he had a fine trip and saw much of the north country that interested him, not only because of the picturesque beauty there to be seen but as well as the evident wealth of the country through he traveled in Roseau and other counties. He predicts a great future for that section. Big Fork Paper Sold. A change in management and ownership of the Big Fork Compass took place the first of the month. Ernest J. Holler will be the new editor and proprietor, he having purchased the same of A. M. Greeley, who established the paper six years ago. Editor Greeley was not onlyagood booster for this north country but one of the most able writers in the state. On account of his failing health he pi paper | having been one uf the owners of the rder Budget in the early days. He afterwards established the Littlefork Times, which he sold a couple of months ago. Once a newspaper mao always a newspaper man. Mr. Haller is a hustler and’a good booster and will surely do his share toward bring- ing Big Fork to the front, - Butter Production Increases. Minnesota produced 87,044,817 pounds of butter in 1907, according to figures just completed by the state dairy and food commission for its biannual report. This was against 86,000,000 pounds for 1906 and 70,405,579 for 1905. For the cream which went to make up this immense amount of butter the creameries paid 71,769 farmers $18,912,042, or an average of 25 cents per pound for their butter fat. The number of cows responsible for the output was 546,595. A Sure Thing. “So you’ve got a job in the weather department. Why did you want to get there?” “Because any one employed there is sure of a raise.” “Is that so?” “Yes; either of temperature or um brellas.” | DEMOCRATIC RALLY Al COURT HOUSE Friday, Oct. 9, 8 p. m. | IGOROUS SPEECHES PROM: ISED BY THE BEST OF LOCAL TALENT.
